How about some more recent tracks? Like from the 90's? I say 'tracks' because the second selection for today might receive some scoffs if I referred to it as a song. But I am reserving the right to pick tracks which may not fit the traditional definition of what a song is. But no doubt that today's first pick is a real, actual song. Portishead is a band that has many creepy-sounding songs but I think this one is their creepiest. "Half Day Closing" is a song that makes your hairs stand on end. Everything about this song is just not right.
Here's another from the 90's. This is the one that is not exactly musical but it is great for Halloween. Boards of Canada is considered an 'electronica' band and a lot of their music incorporates lo-fi and/or creepy elements. Much of what you hear in "Color of the Fire" is taken from a Sesame Street segment which has been slowed down and modified just enough to freak many people out. In fact, I have even used this song played backwards on a little scary video I made!
